They still wipe their shit with their bare hand. I am ok calling any society primitive that can’t figure out how to use some form of water to wash their ass, or AT LEAST toilet paper.

I’ve heard that claim before. Anyone have a source?

Unfortunately the aforementioned list will never contain the most “stone cold killer”, most dangerous predator species of 'em all, because it’s a list kept by that very species themselves.

Wallabies…

How much of this is influenced by people just paying more attention to those around them when they see someone dressed as Batman?

Like, personally, when I’m on public transit I go into full disassociation mode. I wouldn’t even notice a pregnant woman because I’m trying my best to ignore everyone. But someone dressed as Batman would snap me out of that. Its hard to ignore someone dressed as Batman, and once you focus on him, you start focusing on other people as well.

Windows 11 are broken

Literally every wireless controller I have ever owned that used rechargable batteries could be plugged in while I was using it if it started to die. I would bet that 99% of wireless controller users have a power outlet at least somewhere near where they sit to game.

Better ban the ocean then. I heard millions of people decide to go swimming in it every day and some of them drown.

How much money do you think 4chan gets from the UK? I promise it’s not much.

Are you seriously trying to say that if you have a website, no matter where it’s hosted and what you are hosting, you are subject to the laws of EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY that has internet access?

Here’s a text picture of Muhammad lying down: O<–<

Are the admins of lemmy.world now subject to being put to death in Somalia? Under Somali law, that is blasphemy and punishable by death.

This whole conflict has been like watching a video from halfway around the world of a child molester mercilessly punch and kick the unconscious body of a second child molester after he hit the first one in the face. And then having a bunch of people ask “which child molester do you support?” who then get really upset and confused when you say neither, that you consider them both to be monsters, and don’t really care if either, or both, of them die.

Well that’s retarded

So why is it so rarely prosecuted?

Until we start seeing some socialists in positions of power, passing socialist policies, I’m going to respectfully disagree.

They’re right that capitalism is out; but look around. Socialism isn’t in. Fascism is.

Just wait until the ballroom is built. It’s like half the size of the fucking white house and will forever taint the iconic view.

Man, I am trying; really, really, trying to force my brain to see them that way and it just refuses to. Those are way too wide to be a nose and the “mouths” are way too low and weirdly off center. I can only see frowny faces.

I have to wonder, are you and people like you just making a common joke? Or do you really think the US extracted oil from Afghanistan? Because they didn’t. They used the invasion to strong arm OPEC; but they themselves didn’t take oil. It wasn’t about increasing oil supply.

The US grew heroin there instead. And only left when stronger synthetics (fentanyl) made heroin unprofitable.

To play devil’s advocate, an issue arises when there AREN’T more verifiable sources. If someone makes an outlandish claim like “Billy Joel used to wash his ass with crisco” and cites a dubious interview, it’s hard to find a source that definitively states Billy Joel DIDN’T wash his ass with crisco. Even worse, is if there was an actual, verified instance of one time where Billy Joel washed his ass with crisco. That may have been the only time he ever did it, and it may have been done as a joke or something like that, but now we have an interview saying he did it regularly, and an example of when he did. Now it’s a lot harder to disprove.

I feel gross defending Republican talking points, now I need to go take a shower. Maybe wash my ass with crisco.

Straight into the garbage.

What lawsuit? What are you talking about?

To me, life=consciousness is just too simple of a definition. Is a sponge conscious? How about a plant? How about a single bacteria cell?

I feel there is a difference between something making a choice in their actions, or merely reacting to external stimuli. That line is blurry, and there’s a lot more creatures that fall on the conscious side than we used to think, but there are definitely creatures that don’t. You’ll never be able to convince me that something like a jellyfish or a salp is a conscious creature.
